Truth

Truth, such a simple word but hard to believe sometimes…….

My eyes began to open a few weeks ago to the realization that I had let go of the truth and began to believe some lies about myself and my situation.

I guess the epiphany began with the feeling of being lost, disconnected, and apathetic which despite of my best efforts, I couldn’t seem to shake. Up until this point, the last several months had been relatively carefree and happy, but I realized that this was just part of the deception.

I had been slowly replacing the things I knew to be true with what was false. I guess that’s how the father of lies tricks us. He’s like a little mouse that nibbles away at the truth in us little by little, so subtle that we don’t notice until it practically gone and our behavior begins to surprise us.

This is why it is so vital for me to stay connected to God and alert in monitoring the things I’m letting into my life. Everyday I need to ask the questions, “Am I pursuing truth today?” or “Am I buying into what’s a lie”?

Praise God that He is always pursuing me. Even in the midst of the dark forest I was wandering aimlessly in, I could still hear His voice calling me. At times it was so faint, but if I listened it was there leading me out of the dark jungle of deception.

If you haven’t read “Bondage Breaker” by Neil Anderson, I highly reccomend it. I’ll be writing some more posts concerning the material in his book, but he adheres to the beleif that “The truth will set you free”.  As I embrace the truth and let it shed light on the lies, I am free….
